 [Quantum Biocommunication Technology] Human 2.0 - The Singularity Is Near: Supercomputers are already at 100 trillion (1014) calculations per second (cps) and will hit 1016 cps near the end of this decade, which is the level I estimate is required to functionally simulate the human brain. Several supercomputers with 1015 cps are already on the drawing board, with two Japanese efforts targeting 1016 cps about the end of the decade.

 [TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND] A new paradigm in paradigm shifts: We will be able to go beyond the limits of biology, and replace your current ”˜human body version 1.0’ with a dramatically upgraded version 2.0, providing radical life extension. The ”˜killer app’ of nanotechnology is ”˜nanobots,’ blood-cell sized robots that can travel in the bloodstream destroying pathogens, removing debris, correcting errors in DNA and reversing ageing processes.”

 [ eripsa] What is thought II: It seems that the theory you're defending is very similar to Noe and O'reagans enactive approach to thought and percetion http://www.imprint.co.uk/pdf/NOE.PDF and http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~noe/oregan.noe.pdf They just replace your "action guiding resources" with the slightly more intimidating "sensorimotor contingencies." I dont mean to butcher it (its late) but, briefly, it necessitates that experience/consciousness occurs by an agent through and because of its interactions with its environment. Perception here is not something that occurs inside of the animal, but is what the animal enacts as it explores the environment in which it is situated.

 [Our Technological Future] Singularity FAQ for Dummies: (Another audience would be people with funding that they would like to direct towards said scientists or developers. Said funders rarely wish to support said efforts merely by giving money to cheerleaders.) Advocating the support of something, without being able to point to specific, active projects trying to accomplish some identifiable component of that thing, can be worse than pointless: it's hype that doesn't actually affect any material thing, and sometimes even detracts from the projects actually trying to accomplish the intended goal.

 [Christianitytoday.com] THE CT REVIEW: I, Robot - Christianity Today Magazine: David is captured by religious rednecks and taken to the Flesh Fair, a festival in the woods where humans who feel threatened by androids take sadistic glee in torturing the machines to death. One of the robots in the holding pen mutters that history is repeating itself, and the line evokes memories of Schindler's List and Amistad, two previous Spielberg films that dealt with systemic racism.

[Marketleap.com] Artificial Intelligence - Viral Marketing and the Web: Along with that release came rumors that you could perform a Google.com search for someone named Jeanine Salla and enter an online world unlike anything ever associated with film marketing.

 [Robots.net] robots.net - Robot news and Robotics Info: In the Novemeber issue of ACM's Ubiquity, Subhash Kak of Louisiana State University asks if "humans will eventually create silicon machines with minds that will slowly spread all over the world, and the entire universe will eventually become a conscious machine?" Along the way he ponders whether consciousness is outside the pale of science altogether and whether the brain is an "ordinary" machine or a very special type of machine. He covers a lot of ground and a lot of theories of intelligence and consciousness.

[Prototypen.com] Life as an Artificial Lifeform: And it will get worse with robots replacing all low income jobs in the next 15 years the whole society needs a rethinking needs a restructuring - you could even say that the riots in France are the beginning of an inner struggle with mankind itself to restart a life where you do not need to hunt for the fox to survive the winter - we are entering a complete new territory and it seems not many people are thinking about the future with all these new technologies - a changing society needs to find a new path or it will all be violent and ugly and a survival of the fittest we are back to the dark ages future that will great us. There are so many jobless hungry people in the world and so many lost in work souls who work until they die - mostly a work-stress related death - the rich want to get richer the poor want to get rich to just get richer when they are rich the hungry want food when they have food they want the same toys as the rich and all that just to have plastic stuff that you throw away electronics that keep you happy on your 2 hour commute to work - just to throw them away when they are broken a year later - something you worked for at least 10 days in you life and its a cycle that will spin until you have forced break until it can´t sustain itself - either because of a lack of resources on our planet or a lack of resources in our soul - but the break will occur.
